The adoption of rBST on Wisconsin dairy farms
Barham, Brad; Jackson-Smith, Douglas; Moon, Sunyung
Adoption of rBST on Wisconsin dairy farms has been modest, and is limited by farm operations: (1) finding rBST disadvantageous given their moderate scale and lack of use of technologies and practices that improve its efficacy; (2) using alternative production systems that make rBST use less likely; and (3) working with handlers that market dairy products to consumers from cows not treated with rBST.

Agricultural Biotechnology and Public Attitudes in the European Union
Gaskell, George
The latest European sample survey of public perceptions of biotechnology shows that Europeans
continue to support medical applications of biotechnology but have become increasingly opposed
to genetically modified (GM) foods. Furthermore, while the cloning of human cells and tissues is
supported, the cloning of animals is not. The survey shows considerable differences in public
opinion on applications of biotechnology across the European Union (EU) member states,
highlighting the difficulties for European level policy making, and provides some indications as to
the bases of resistance to GM foods and animal cloning.

Animal Agriculture in the EU & Multifunctionality
Béranger, Claude
In the future, animal production systems in the European Union (EU) are expected to confront increasingly competitive markets, increasing world demand for animal protein, higher quality and safer foods, and sustainable production systems. Farming systems will need to be sustainable,
diverse, multifunctional, and territorial based as well as efficient in order to meet these demands. New forms of regulations are proposed at different levels to accommodate these challenges.

Antibiotic resistance in the EU - Science, politics, and policy
Follet, Ghislain
A number of resistant bacterial pathogens have become the focus of recent concern in human medicine. Studies and facts on use of antibiotics in animals suggest that animal sources contribute little to the problem. The current pursuit of zero risk by banning some antibiotics in Europe is not a sensible precaution but rather an abdication of responsibility based on science.
